This is a great list of ways to keep yourself protected from webcam hackers, but there is only one way to ensure you are 100% protected from being watched. Even with all of the steps above you are still at risk.

I purchased a camJAMR from http://camJAMR.com recently and i LOVE it. It physically covers my webcam with a webcam lens safe adhesive that is reusable many times. They have cool/fun images that i enjoy looking at.
